 Steps Pakistan has taken? Pros and cons? Which steps not taken and

why?

To minimize the spread of coronavirus, Pakistan Supreme Court has taken some
preventive measures. Staff members above the age of 50 years have been advised to work
from home. Only the important staff will attend office. For the female staff it has been
advised to them to stay at home. Only vital/ important cases will be heard at Principal Seat
Islamabad by three benches. Moreover only cases of urgent nature will be heard at Karachi
and Lahore Branch Registries. All other cases have been delisted.

All schools, colleges, and universities and madrassa’s are shut down for meantime till 31 st
of May, 2020. Pakistan will also completely seal its western border with Afghanistan and
Iran for two weeks for both travelers and trade to prevent the spread of the pandemic
coronavirus. All Pakistani pilgrims arriving from Iran will be placed in 14-day quarantine.
Sikh shrine, will be closed for Pakistani citizens but will be opened for Indian pilgrims. They
will be allowed to visit it. To effectively screen travelers, Pakistan will allow arrival and
departure of international flights at only three airports – Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad –
with enhanced safety measures. Seaports will remain operational with increased screening
and surveillance measures.

All public gatherings and large conferences have been banned with immediate effect.
Wedding halls and cinemas will be closed. To limit the spread of Covid-19, no visitors would
be allowed in prisons for three weeks. Also, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and
provincial high courts requested the suspension of all proceedings of civil court, and asked
that no cases are scheduled for the next three weeks. Pakistan is on lockdown. Grocery
stores, all society gates etc., will open at sharp 9am and will be closed by sharp 5pm in the

 Management’s crisis? What steps you would take if you were the PM?

Pakistan may see itself suffering in terms of lost imports, as China has been and
continues to be a major supplier of goods and services to the country. As a result of this
temporary disruption in trade, sectors such as Cable & Electrical and Auto Supply Chain may
suffer the most as they rely on various machinery, electrical goods, semiconductors, AC parts
and compressors imported from China. Last but not the least, two of the most important
Chinese gems of Pakistan, i.e. BMR and CPEC, may witness serious commotion as the
supply of major components needed for these projects may face an indefinite delay. While
Pakistan has the option of importing equipment from alternate sources, such as the EU and
the Far East, but it wouldn’t be possible without incurring significant cost overruns.

If I was the PM, I would have imposed fines and truly implemented them. So that people
can learn to stay at home. Look after themselves and others too. When following complete
lockdown, during that time the roads/ streets should be sanitized. Socio- economic class
should be educated about the virus by giving them free food. Secondly, to create more
awareness among youngsters or lower middle class the best medium is tik-tok. Through tik-
tok social distancing can be portrayed through dance for example the viral Vietnam tik-tok
dance to stay away from coronavirus and how to wash your hands. Strict actions should to be
taken against those who violate the rules. Doctors should receive advance facilities. Will
make hand gloves and masks of all sorts to be available.
